My problem is that /dev/hdc of my PC is broken (the 1st IDE disk of the 2nd
channel) and I had to replace it with /dev/hde (it is an ATA/66 disk with a
Promise controller, that can't become /dev/hdc).
Please, if you can, reply also to my address, because I'm not subscribed to the
list.
The interested lines of my /etc/raidtab (used to create and manage the
array) are:
nr-raid-disks 3
nr-spare-disks 0
device /dev/hda5
raid-disk 0
device /dev/hdb5
raid-disk 1
device /dev/hdc5
raid-disk 2
At now I tried (without issue):
1. to change nr-spare-disks substituing 1 to 0
and adding at the and:
device /dev/hde5
spare-disk 0
At reboot time the system tell something about hde5 having an invalid
magic superblock.
2. to substituting - verbatim - /dev/hdc5 with /dev/hde5,
but didn't work (the system continue to tell that raid 5 isn't
operational and it works in a degradated way).
hde5 has exactely the same size than hdc5 had and it is of
partition type fd (Linux RAID autodetect).
The distribution is Mandrake 7 with raidtools 0.90. and the kernel
is 2.2.16.
Thx if someone has some hints or idea or pointer to docs to solve my
problem.
